EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the defeat of Giovanni de Medici in Parma. Engraved by Philip Galle and based on the artwork of Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus), this piece from "The History of the Medici" series showcases the talent and skill of these renowned artists. In this scene, we witness Giovanni de Medici, commander of Papal forces, facing his adversaries during a fierce battle. The city is under French occupation, adding to the intensity and complexity of the conflict. Mounted on horseback, Giovanni attempts to lead his army to victory but finds himself overwhelmed by opposing forces. The artist masterfully depicts the chaos and desperation that ensues as Giovanni's troops flee from their enemies. The composition highlights not only the central figure's struggle but also provides glimpses into other aspects of battlefield life - castles dotting the landscape and horses galloping amidst smoke-filled air. This print serves as a reminder of both triumphs and defeats experienced throughout history. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon past conflicts while appreciating the artistic prowess behind its creation. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its detailed portrayal of historical events. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's struggle for victory against overwhelming odds.
